She encourages students to find a balance between effort and ease, and to quiet the chatter of the mind. While Laura comes to each class prepared with a theme or series of poses, she also pays close attention to the energy level and experience in the room when establishing the pace and difficulty level of the class. She offers modifications and adjustments to support students in having a safe, beneficial, and rewarding practice. Laura is a 200 hour Certified Yoga Instructor.

Emily Chambers

Group Instructor, Personal Trainer

Functional movement helps us lead stronger and healthier lives. The foundation of my training style stems from finding a way to bring movement into your life in a safe and effective way, unique to your individual needs. After suffering from 3 back injuries early into my teaching career, my perspective on fitness took a greater emphasis on finding healthy ways to move the body despite physical limitations that vary each day. In both group classes and private sessions, we work to maximize the potential of your body, mind, and breath through challenging yet grounding forms of movement. My classes focus on the importance of the core to support functional movement patterns, to find groundedness in the breath, and to use the freedom of movement to better align our posture, and better align our lives!
